All the stories have so much detail. It's a great book to read as a bed time story, or a summertime book.

Rudyard Kipling is an author recognized by his books of incredible adventure, and he is known for trying to teach all readers about life in a foreign country. The 'Just So Stories' are stories he told his two daughters to explain how the world became "just so".

BookKim
In this novel he showed by his good comment and splended words an Indian & English spirit because of his life in the two countries which was an excellent material for the cinema and it was made in 1939 in the cinema by Errol Flynn, the hero of Hollywood.
/Moataz Mohsen, Egypt
Because it is adventurous and we can learn what life is like and people too.

BookThe Complete Verse
I like Kipling's rhythm. He carried the ten, ten, ten, etc beat of a sonnet’s lines to all sorts of complicated six-eighth time beats, or seen nine which put more life into shorter poems, though of course a sonnet can be put to music and be a repetitious tale told to music, easy for a child to learn. Kipling put exciting rhythms into both music and poetry.

BookThe Jungle Book
It's humorous and a joyride to the jungle world & also I just looooooove FICTION !!!!!!!
/Adrija, India
It's about forest and wildlife which concern my personal interest.
/Picha Pitayakajornwute, Thailand
I really like this book because of the humour and the excitement that it brings to young readers when the read this appealing book. I also like this book not because it's easy to read but also how many characters he uses in the book and also how he makes the story more interesting by adding these GOOD guys and bad guys. A few weeks also my 7th grade class in language arts we read another one of his books called Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and it was a really good book and I recommend that book because of the excitement and adventure and the journey. It makes you go on once you have started reading it.

The author shows the dynamic of the English culture and its influences or therefore lack on the Indian culture through the eyes of the wolf boy Mowgli. Kipling interchangeably understands that nature is civilization and that the laws of mere mortal man are weak; as man is the weakest of all creatures in the jungle and the least civilized and yet Mowgli finds love and loyalty with Messua. But who could possibly miss the implications of the cursed beast Shere Khan? The tiger who got his strip from the trees for killing man and the implications of such curses on all the creatures of the jungle. In a most interesting twist it seems that the creatures of the 'Jungle Bbook' understand that man was once a part of the jungle and it was Shere Khan's race who brought violence into their paradise. It is rather ironic when one considers in what context the word civilized is used.

Beause it was exciting, and beause I love wolfs.
/Jessica, United States
It is exciting and the good person wins through.

As a young girl of 8, 'The Jungle Book' was a journey of adventure, excitement and most certainly, sadness. It really made my mind tickle ... I said to myself after reading it "the price of this book is way lower than its value."
/Efua Asibon, Ghana
I like it, because it could make the imagination of animals talking. Also they could make laws. I like the story of the wolf-child growng up in Indian wilderness.
/Rick Wang, United States
I like it because it's a fun adventure/action story that a person could enjoy.
/Leah Aldrich, United States
I LOVE animals, and this book made me love animals more!
/Virginia, United States
Because it is a very interesting book for all ages ... most books that entertain all age groups are usaully too scary or something like that and no one ever reads them, but the 'Jungle book' is a kid/teen and adult friendly book. It shows how no matter where you're from you can make friends with everyone if you just try.
/Theresa O., United States
I recommend it because it has things that involve laws of our nation and I think the story is great.
